[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my young teen boy is in the same boat (kids menus, people assume he is a fifth grader, etc) Besides fashion and hair cut, we have found that better posture and [b]better communication skills help[/b]: good posture (especially when sitting in a booth), [b]speaking confidently and clearly, eye contact with adults) Little kids don't do those things consistently but young adults do. It helps to get people to treat him closer to his age when he communicates in a more mature way.[/b][/quote] These. My 7th grader is 12.5 and just starting to fit into size tens in some items. But nobody mistakes her for a nine year old for more than ten seconds after talking to her. If people ask her or me if she wants a children's menu we just say "no thanks" in a tone like "why would you think she would?" [/quote]
